Dear Parents

We, at Hilton, are all used to having cricket fixtures cancelled due to rain but I certainly cannot remember another time when all of our hockey matches and most of our rugby matches were cancelled on account of the weather as they were on Saturday.  This was obviously most disappointing for so many of our boys but, having witnessed the conditions in Durban on Saturday and seen the state of the fields, there is no doubt that the right decision had been made.  Playing conditions were incredibly difficult and I, like our poor laundry staff, sincerely hope that our remaining fixtures will be played in more favourable conditions. Gratefully the weather cleared up on Sunday for Mother’s Day and I trust that all of our mums had a very happy day.
